From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Description of problem: I booted with 'acpi=off' and suspended my laptop by closing the lid. Upon resuming, the keyboard does not work correctly. When the first key is pressed, an unending stream of garbage characters is emitted. I can't switch consoles, kill X, or reboot the machine via the keyboard. Prior to upgrading to FC3, I was running FC2 with a vanilla 2.6.7 kernel, as well as a couple 2.6.9-acs. The above behavior would happen under all 2.6.9 versions I tried (vanilla as well as ac3), but 2.6.7 was OK. (I never tried 2.6.8 for very long, I found that X would die under load, but that's a bug for another day.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot with ACPI disabled 2. suspend 3. resume 4. press any key 5. watch madness ensue Additional info:
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you.
